This area will have limited companion seating, allowing one companion to accompany users, and there are a limited number of chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis. ADA portable toilets will be located near the wheelchair platform, which will be available when the gates open at 5pm. Canes used for mobility are permitted.

Vehicles displaying ADA permit hangtags or license plates will be permitted to drop off and pick up passengers on Rosa L. Parks Boulevard, north of Locklayer Street, near the Tennessee State Museum. Vehicles may stop only to drop off and pick up.
Sensory Inclusion Bags by KultureCity
Nashville’s Big Bash is introducing Sensory Bags by KultureCity, which works with venues and events to help make them Sensory Inclusive for individuals with sensory needs. Some common diagnoses often associated with sensory processing impairment include Autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, Down’s Syndrome, Parkinson’s, dementia, and traumatic brain injuries. Sensory Bags will include noise-canceling headphones for those sensitive to sound; strobe-reduction sunglasses to minimize visual discomfort caused by bright or flickering lights; fidget tools, which can help relieve anxiety; visual cue card, which provides clear visual instructions or reminders; and a feeling thermometer card, a tool allowing individuals to express their emotions visually. Sensory Bags will be available at the Info Booths.
